Summer of Code

The conceptual summer is hitting the last 1/3 of it's existence and I am nowhere near being ready for it to finish. Even though this summer has been horrible in two aspects, that I was not able to go home to Croatia at all, and that I had to spend 95% of it away from my girlfriend, I have grown quite fond of it.

My primary occupation is my Summer of Code project, which has brought new friends, new knowledge, and new skills. It also brought a new lifestyle which I thoroughly enjoy - I do whatever I feel like all day long. I have had to use the alarm clock twice this summer, and I am yet to deny myself a nap. I am trying very hard to find out whether there is any way of keeping this lifestyle past the summer's end.

The coming year will also be a new experience for me - it will be the first summer I am not getting paid by the Arts, Media and Engineering Program, but instead through a teaching assistantship from the Computer Science department. I am yet to find out what all that will mean. Hopefully it will be a good thing.

More rambles to come.
